Delivered by Women, Led by Men: A Gender and Equity Analysis of the Global Health and Social Workforce

World Health Organisation (WHO) "The report, produced by the WHO Global Health Workforce Network’s Gender Equity Hub, (co chaired by WHO, and Women in Global Health), is the latest gender and equity analysis on the health workforce— looking collectively for the first time at issues of leadership; decent work free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, including sexual harassment; gender pay gap; and occupational segregation—across the entire workforce. It calls for gender-transformative policies and measures to be put in place if global targets such as universal health coverage (UHC) are to be achieved. This report serves as an essential resource to all policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, educators and activists that must make it part of their core business to understand and effect change."
